Of Romanesque origin, the Saint-Agnan (or St-Aignan) church was rebuilt in the 15th century under the leadership of Ambroise de Loré, who also had the Amilly castle rebuilt.
It consists of a single nave onto which a small chapel opens in the north wall.

The embellishments of the church certainly owe a lot to this family as evidenced by the two stained glass windows dating from the 16th century, representing the donors, and which bear the coat of arms of the Loré family: ermine with three gule cinquefoils. The figures of the donors, partially broken during the revolution, were restored in 1880 by Eugène Hucher (Carmel du Mans workshop).
It is probable that the large door of the church (which bears the date 1622) and the beautiful wooden altarpiece decorated with three scenes of the passion in terracotta, dating from the end of the 15th century, which surmounts the altar of the Virgin in the North chapel, also donations from the Loré family.

The revolution also saw the desecration of the tomb of the Loré family, located in the crypt. The church was transformed into a Jacobins club, and in the North chapel, recycled into a refreshment bar, "we drank from the heads of the nobles".
This crypt is now disused.
